UNIBEN has lost two students in two separate suspected cultists attacks within the space of 10 days.

Two students of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have been killed by suspected cultists within the space of 10 days.

According to a Daily Post report, James (no second name given), a 300-level student of Vocational and Technical Education, was on Monday shot in the head at close range.

Student Pulse gathered that, after the shooting, James was rushed to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital where he was declared dead.
